For this challenge, members of Bead Art Originals were asked to create a piece inspired by one of their favourite famous works of art - a famous painting, sculpture, photograph, etc... the inspiration didn’t have to be literal, one could take inspiration from the colours, the composition, the shape (sculptural art), etc..Here are the creations submitted by some of our members in response to this challenge:
Our first entry is from Smadar’s Treasure. Smadar drew inspiration from the painting “Healing Heart” by Teo Alfonso.

What a torture to have to choose only one! :)
So be it the necklace by Darcy aka TheJadeDog
Absolutely stunning! The interpretations are fantastic. If the bead work wasn't beside its insiration piece it would be easily to connect it together.SPOT ON Ladies!!
They're all stunnning and fantastic interpretations of the art. I will vote on #5 CieloDesign because I just love me some Monet and the colors are breathtaking!
I have to agree with Chris... and Rita... it is hard to choose just one, but the Monet, combined with the colors Miriam chose for her piece... I just had to pick that one...
Amazing! I think each artist hit it out of the park on this challenge! Every piece totally conjured up the same emotion I have from their chosen artwork! Awesome job ladies!
These are all just fantastic!
Your challenges are always ending up in a collection of eye candies... I have a strong preference for two of them because of their very beautiful use of the colour-palette: TheJadeDog with the Simonetta Vespucci-inspired piece and CieloDesign with the Monet-inspired necklace.
The matte black 'core' of the crocheted rope is a superb background on which the lighter colours really pop out (and I love that type of contrasts) and the other piece showcases a subtle blend of shades that are very harmoniously assembled. I nearly can't choose because the cab is like a pond in the centre of the latter and the braided Herringbone finishing is beautiful, but I vote for TheJadeDog because there is more playfulness and movement in the necklace.
Wow!!! These are super amazing! Love the art inspired pieces! I simply cannot pick just one! They are all magnificent!!! Although, I do want to thank Triz for using my raku in her amazing handbag!!! So, if I have to vote...
They are all stunning! I wish I didn't have to choose just one, but I have to say Miriam's really speaks to me.
Oh my they are all amazing. If I have to pick only one it would have to be the entry by Triz Designs. Being an artist myself I think this was such a great idea and I love seeing the paintings inspiring the beadwork. Every entry is a winner in my book - great job all!!
The entries are all worthy of winning. My choice surprises me because it is not a typical source of inspiration for me, but the colors and the snake shape necklace on the woman in the painting just capture the essence so well. I learned bead crochet early on in my beading adventure and gave it up for bead weaving; I'm going to have to revisit it after seeing TheJadeDog's creation.
The writhing undulations of Salamander House echo Vincent's brushwork for me. To be forced to judge among these paragons, my post should be signed Solomon.
love your blog. i'll be back !

Of course all of these are absolutely wonderful, but my favourite is Smadar's entry, because its so simple yet vibrant, fun, and the easiest to wear (for me at least :))
Arearea
Very high quality entrants this time. My favorite is the lariat by The Jade Dog.
I vote for #3 by Jade Dog, the lariat inspired by the portrait of Simonetta Vespucci
I have to vote for Miriam's piece. The swirling of the herringbone and the colors just captivated me.
Such a wonderful experience to see all the lovely creations made by the team.
Thanks ladies!

I like the "water garden and japanese footbridge". Simply because it reminds me of our journey last november... crosing the hanging bridge is my most treasured and unforgettable experience with my college students! and ill keep it for life!Hope this jewelry be a memory of that!
These are gorgeous! It is very difficult to chose just one but I am a fan of Triz's work so I pick her bag.
I really like Salamander House's piece. I really reminds me of he painting.
They're all stunnning !!!!!!but I will vote to Our second entry Triz Designs
